    I'm a rascal. The best place to do it is in the sky.

    Are you wanting to do a tandem or learn to do it solo? did the AFF course at Skydive Spain near Seville. Absolutely brilliant. I think they've got a sister site somewhere near Hull but it is very weather dependent and cloud cover prevents you jumping so it can be a bit unpredictable doing it in this country.
